Avantika KapoorÂs Controversial Entry in B-town
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,October 05 2009]
One more Kapoor babe has entered Bollywood and her name is Avantika Kapoor. Although she hails from non-filmy family, within the short span of her arrival she managed to get lucrative offers from prestigious banners. She shared the camera frame for Airtel with none other than Shahrukh Khan and she also featured in three video albums which were made for Apache Indian and Hard Kaur, Sandeep Batra of Fame Gurukul fame and the current chartbuster Radheshyam made by T Series. And now the doors of Bollywood are opened for her and noted director Faisal Saif has signed her for the main lead in his film Mahi Mahi.
Speaking about this film she says, When Faisal Saif offered me a lead role in this film I was very happy and excited but when he narrated me the story all my excitement got evaporated. This is not a routine kind of a-boy-meets-girl type story. In fact it is the story of a love between a Shiya boy and a Sunni girl. I am playing the role of a Sunni girl Husna Khan in it. I know an old rivalry is going on between Shiyas and Sunnis all over the world and lot of blood is flown on the streets all over due to the traditional rivalry between these two sects. Saddam Hussain was Sunni and when he was captured and was taken to ropes, the world showed on TV as to how Shiyas expressed their happiness and celebrated this by dancing on the streets and firing their guns in the air. This shows how deep the rivalry is between these two sects. Till now no film is made on the romance of a Shiya-Sunni boy and girl. On one side I am excited about this film same way I am nervous as well.
On an emotional note, Avantika said, I hope the film will have smooth shooting schedules and a peaceful release.
